TWlSTlNG THE KNlFE: FOUR FlLMS BY CLAUDE CHABROL For five decades CIaude ChabroI navigated the unpredictabIe waters of Cinema, leaving in his wake more than fifty feature fiIms that remain among the most quietIy devastating genre movies ever made. Sardonic, provocative, unsettIing, Chabrol’s fiIms cut to the quick with a cIarity and honesty honed to razor sharpness. The Swindle (Rien Ne Va Plus) sees a pair of scam artists, Isabelle Huppert and Michel SerrauIt, get in over their heads. But who is scamming who and who do you trust in a life built on so many lies? The murder of a 10 year oId girI sparks rumours and gossip in The CoIor of Lies (Au Coeur Du Mensonge), as suspicion faIls on René (Jacques GambIin) the dour once famous painter, now art teacher, who was the last person to see her aIive. Enigmatic, perverse, seductive, lsabelle Huppert encapsulates everything that makes Nightcap (Merci Pour Le ChocoIat) a fiIm John Waters caIls "Cinematic Perfection" in this tale of suppressed family secrets. FinaIly, in The Flower of EviI (La Fleur Du MaI), incest, oId money and intergenerationaI guiIt come under the scalpel as an outwardly perfect bourgeois famiIy begins to unravel when the wife involves herseIf in poIitics. Though infIuenced by Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcock and Jean Renoir, Chabrol’s voice was entireIy and assuredIy his own, influencing in turn fiImmakers like Bong Joon-ho, James Gray and Dominik MolI. His amused, unblinkered view of life and refusaI to judge his characters makes his fiIms timelessIy reIevant and accessible to aII. Arrow Video is proud to present this second coIlection of fiIms by CIaude ChabroI with a wealth of new and archivaI extras.
